Yesterday saw the opening night of the musical Paradise of Pain with German 1998 Eurovision Song Contest representative Guildo Horn in a lead role. Horn, who is referred to as “Der Meister (The Master)” by his fans, and the rest of the cast received standing ovations and rave reviews.
Horn, who secured a 7th place for Germany at the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Guildo hat Euch lieb', plays a good-hearted bank clerk, who, by mistake, founds himself in hell while his devilish counterpart, a gangster, takes his place in heaven. The play, written by Frank Nimsgern, which premiered in Guildo Horn's hometown Trier yesterday, is described as “outreagously funny”. Critics called Horn's performance “convincing”.
